[QUOTE="Hazey, post: 124057"] Roger that. When he got down to one shot from the leader, I'd rather [b][u]anyone[/u][/b] else won it rather than him - nothing personal, just for some reason not a fan. To be honest, I was really rooting for Tiger to win: this brought up an interesting discussion with my girlfriend's sports-mad family - in what other sport do you see an almost total dominance of a sport by a single figure/team where that person/team isn't hated/rooted against by at least half of the supporting public? Think of Manchester United, the All-Blacks, the New York Yankees, to name a few. Big kudos to Woods in my opinion for managing to be so dominant at what he does, yet retain the respect and more importantly the adoration of the public and his fellow golfers. With about an hour and a half to go on the last day, and Cabrera 2 shots ahead, I have to admit I turned on my tape of the South Africa v. Australia Tri-Nations match, but after 20 minutes of that I turned the golf back on to see the scores, and was rooted to the TV after that! Excellent finish to the competition, and Woods was unlucky when his drive on the 18th finished right on the border of the 2nd and 3rd cuts of rough; it left him an impossible putt. One thing I was most shocked about - Cabrera smoking as he walked down the fairway on I think 15th or 16th in the last round! Not sure why, just thought that didn't happen anymore! [/QUOTE]
